i particularly enjoy
playing old elton john tunes on the egotar because of the wonderful chord
inversions and familiarity to the listener. it's
fun to take that kind of pianistic quality and apply it to guitars.

in the verses of "rocket man" here, the
egotar is being plucked behind the slide. this creates a natural flange where
the string produces two notes at once. it sounds a bit like a sitar.
